Why yes, I have an inherent physical reflex to click the link the moment grades are released, no matter what else I may be doing...
That megapaper turned out so-so, about what I expected. Prof even commented that he was excited by the fresh ideas I’d brought to the theory, but was unclear why I hadn’t followed through as strongly. So the rabbit did make it out of the hat, but hopped away. Which was no surprise. I simply didn’t have time to pull up the rest of the proposal to the same level.
But overall, I did get the grade I wanted for the course, and I still feel like I could look Prof in the eye and have a continuing conversation with him about it, and those are every bit as important as one paper grade, in Grad school.
Time for cocoa.
